Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Cebu City, Philippines
The Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral exhibits baroque architecture with its three-story bell tower, ornate decorations, and structural elements divided by pilasters.
The cathedral's establishment dates back to 1565 when Miguel Lopez de Legazpi initiated construction, though multiple rebuildings occurred due to natural disasters.
The cathedral conducts religious services in both Cebuano and English languages, making it central to the spiritual life of Cebu's diverse population.
Religious services occur throughout the day, with Sunday masses starting at 5:00 AM, while confessions take place on Wednesdays and Fridays.
The cathedral houses a mausoleum behind the sacristy where Cebu's bishops and clergy rest, including Cardinal-Archbishop Julio Rosales and Bishop Juan Gorordo.
